An Apology (of sorts) to Friends & Readers

For several years, now, we have found ourselves suddenly
and almost simultaneously the primary caretakers for two different
generations of adult family members. This has involved large
commitments of time and resources in both predictable and unpredictable
ways. Writing, keeping in touch, having a social life (and
maintaining this website) took a backseat along with a number of other
activities. If you found yourself feeling "abandoned" I apologize.
Part of the burden that fell to us was maintaining the privacy of another
and explanations have been...well...difficult. It's better, now.
Or, for now, anyways. While the old saying, "If you want to make
God laugh, tell Him your plans," still holds true, a degree of normalcy
seems to be making a return. With it, I hope, renewed communications
and productivity. Thanks for your patience and understanding...
